Hi all.

An ordinary man who finds himself caught up in a bank raid gone wrong. A murder caught on security camera where the victim doesn't exist. A man with just months to live, who is already living in hell but decides to take on the devil. A mob accountant babysitting a hired killer on a trip to the countryside, and a burglar on an easy job who finds it might not be so easy after all. A con-artist conned, and what a man will do when in the grip of an obsession more important to him than his own life.

Nowhere To Go is a collection of eleven crime stories first published in Alfred Hitchcock's, Ellery Queen's, and elsewhere. Eleven stories of what people do when there is nowhere left to go. My short fiction has been reprinted in Year's Best anthologies, won a Derringer Award, and been the basis for a novel shortlisted for the UK Crime Writers' Association's Debut Dagger award.

I'm offering Smashwords coupons for free downloads of the collection (normally $2.99) to anyone who might be interested in reading and reviewing. If this is you, please drop me a direct message here and I'll send you the coupon code, which is valid for download until June 5th.
